I need to buy a workstation for Linux development (C++,JAVA,PERL,etc)
and would like to buy a Mac instead of Wintel.
-Is LinuxPPC 2000 on par with RedHat 6.1?
-Other than recompiling on wintel for delivery, can anyone see
potential problems with using LinuxPPC in a RedHat shop?
-Any known problems with JAVA tools (JDK, JSDK, Tomcat)?

The best person to answer your question would be Jason Haas at LinuxPPC,
Inc. He'd be able to give you both an honest answer and a politically
correct one. :)
Just my 2 cents, but I don't think you will have any problems integrating
LinuxPPC in a Redhat environment (I did it at home.. in fact, it's the
reverse. I introduced a Redhat box into a LinuxPPC environment shortly
after I got my RHCE).
LinuxPPC is very close to RedHat 6.1. Sure, there are some minor
differences, but those are mostly related to dealing directly with the
architecture differences.
Java is a touchy subject.. so far, with the Blackdown port, things seem
rather stable and reliable. However I am not the person to even put my 2
cents in on this one.. :)
